History, English institutes convene
What effect has modern imperialism had on Europe and other countries such as Latin America, China, and sub-Saharan Africa?
This in the basic question being discussed in the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) Institute in History now in session at KU.
THE INSTITUTE from June 13 to Aug. 5 consists of 29 world history teachers. Each participant is enrolled in the KU Graduate School as a special student and will receive eight hours credit.
The course, entitled "Europe and the World in the Age of Modern Imperialism, 1763-1919," is a survey of Europe with emphasis upon the impulse toward and the meaning and implications of modern imperialism. Countries outside Europe will also be studied to see what impact imperialism had on them.

Teachers get a taste of their own medicine when they participate in one of the many summer institutes now in session at KU.
Forty junior high and high school teachers are enrolled in the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) Institute for Advance Study in English. The institute is co-sponsored by the U. S. Office of Education and KU.
THE INSTITUTE, from June 10 to August 6, is dealing with composition, literature, modern grammar, linguistics, and teaching methods.
The institute is taught by KU staff members and one visiting professor. Director this year is John R. Willingham, associate professor of English and director of freshman-sophomore English.
ONE CAMP FINISHED
Goodbye music, frizbie
By Margaret Ogilvie
Tonight a "Farewell Party" will mark the close of the two-week junior high music camp. When the capacity enrollment of 340 girls and boys leaves Corbin Hall tomorrow, Gary Watson, head of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp division, will have supervised what he terms a "bigger and better" session than any of the five before it.
Oliver Hall ready by fall term
Kansas University's new Oliver Hall is nearing completion and wil be ready for occupancy by 680 freshmen women by Sept.1, according to J. J. Wilson KU dormitory director.
Workmen will move furniture into the new hall beginning Monday, and building contractors should be finished by Aug. 15.
INSPECTION HAS begun of the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors. Some floor and ceiling tile, plus lighting fixtures, still must be installed before the building is finished. However, when students arrive for the fall session Sept. 12, everything should be ready except for landscaping.
Oliver Hall is a 10-story structure located near 19th Street and Naismith Drive, named in honor of the Rev. R. W. Oliver, first KU chancellor. The building resembles Lewis and Templin Halls in style.
ALSO LOCATED at the hall will be the offices of officials in the KU "College Within the College," new living-learning program which will begin next fall.
The 10-story Naismith Hall, the first privately financed dormitory in the history of the University, also will open this fall.
Two bands, two choirs, and an orchestra will present a joint concert tomorrow at 3 p.m. in the University Theatre. The junior high schoolers have been rehearsing four hours daily under the direction of Loren Crawford (orchestra), Richard Brummett (concert band), David Circle (symphonic band), and Miss Marilyn Curt (chamber and concert choirs).
THE MAIN LOUNGE and the south dining room at Corbin were used for practices. Each student also has had two private lessons included in his fees. Many have had additional instruction offered by 15 teachers who used rooms on the fourth floor of North Corbin as studios.
The youngsters have attended Sunday concerts presented by senior high musicians "en masse."
At 2 p.m. tomorrow they will also have the opportunity to hear a repeat performance of the Advanced Student Recital given Wednesday.
Campaigning for king and queen of the climactic formal tonight started Monday when candidates were elected. It has been only one aspect of the activity occupying seventh, eighth, and ninth graders.
"THE BIG PASTIME," said Watson, "is frizzie."
Informal games of volleyball, badminton, and croquet have kept the campers busy between rehearsals and lessons. They were offered three movies each week at Corbin, and Saturday all participated in a Moonlight Swim for which three buses were chartered to Holiday Park Swim Club.
A camp meeting was held the first day of camp, July 3, and another Monday to discuss plans for next year.
Party Pix to return to KU yearbook
the tradition of "Party Pix" will be revived in the 1967 Jawhawker, according to Blake Biles, Hutchinson junior and editor of the yearbook.
"Party Pix" were dropped in the 1966 edition of the Jayhawker because of a shortage of space created by coverage of the University's centennial.
"We considered eliminating Party Pix" permanently," said Biles, "but there seems to be wide-spread student support for the section, so we are going to include them in the book."
Biles plans to run "Party Pix" in two separate supplements to the four magazine issues of the 1967 Jayhawker. "The two sections will be 12 to 16 pages long.
Tentatively, we are planning to distribute them with the Fall and Spring (first and third) issues of the Jayhawker," Biles said. In the past, "Party Pix" have appeared in each issue of the yearbook.
"Humor sections such as the Jayhawker's 'Party Pix' are rarely found in college yearbooks." Biles stated, "because most administrators and advisors don't feel that humor is a proper function of a yearbook. However, I don't think that ignoring the non-academic side of life at KU is a good thing either. After all, the activities that begin every Friday afternoon at 4:30 are fairly important to most students and I think they should be included in the Jayhawker."
THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
Members of the junior high orchestra practice even though the temperature soars to the 100-degree mark. And, while the girl on the left shows the concentration these young musicians have for learning to play, the one on the right shows that some of them yield to demands of comfort, too.
